One of the reasons home inspectors should not be testing for mold.

I have yet to see (and I have attended many, many IAQ classes around the country) a class that tells you everything you need to know. Most if not all home inspectors who get into mold testing are doing so with inferior training done in one day by a testing lab or it is sponsored by a testing lab out of Florida.
